For those struggling to keep your faith, you are not alone. A Spoken Word Poem to an Animated video by Suli Breaks.
Lyrics
channelling regrets from young boys in the holy month with no food or drink
you can you blame us for the thirst traps I caught got in
praying that the sunrise would wash away our sins
thank God there ain't an app that tracks all the things that I did wrong
coz i'd probably download it every ramadan
but then delete it after 30 days
does swallowing the truth break you fast?
no-body’s perfect
but trips to turkey instead of haji suggest otherwise
when did perfection become something we can homogenize
part-time holy man & full time hypocrite
coz I still find it so easy drive by the mosque when it’s prayer time
maybe coz i’ve seen drive bys at the mosque when it’s prayer time
nobody’s perfect, i’m only human
are excuses i rehearse to myself every 365 days
will I be forgiven if i quote missy
nobody’s perfect but maybe i’m perfect for you.
coz at the end of the day, our lives are just waves in this ocean
crashing into the shore to trying to leaving ripples in the sea.
our lives are just waves, different ways for the water to be for a little while
before we return to the ocean that we came from.
but what do i know
